school had a pleasant picnic Satur-
day in one of u riverside live oak
groves south of here. The attend
ance was not large, but the children
present bad a gay holiday, and the
yonng ladies' and gentlemen some
enjoyable games in the afternoon.
Oh several occasions our atten-
ton has been attracted by bad con-
duet in the Methodist Church here
during service. AS a rule, howev-
err, Scranton congregations are we'll

seem to be given to enventing all

mentioned these things before and
once more euter protest against it.

Saturday afternoon the boiler
of the saw mill of Meade Bros, of

of the aues. As it happened no
one was near enough to be injured,
though parties working around the
mill had just left the spot Ofdanger
where, had they Femalned, sudden
death Uould have been almost GER
tain. STRAIN was just being raised,
aud the explosion was caused by
the water being too low. The dam
age was not great as the boiler can
be repaired by putling 10 a new

THE LIBEL SUIT.

The San Francisco Bulletin and San
Francisco Cal have won their libel suit
against the San Francisco Chronicle. Only
nominal damages were awarded, but the
plaintiffs we understood to expressly dis
claim any desire for smart money. What
they asked was a verdict that the story of
the Chronicle was untrue, and that verdict
the Bulletin and Call arrangements have
received at the hands of a jury of the
country. The result of the trial has set
tied one question certainly-that it is
hbelous and infamous for one journal to
charge another with bride taking, and that
the rule that obtains as between indi-
vIduals applies as between papers. The
Chronicle charged the Bulletin and Call
with having sold their influence to the
railroad company. The Bulletin and Cdl
denied the charge, and appealed to the
law. The Chronicle was put to its proofs
and failed, while the plaintiffs affirma-
lively established the falsity and infamy
of the charge. The moral of the result
will have broad effect and make journalists
more careful in criticism of each other.
And why should there be greater license
for men who write and print their words,
than for those who utter them vocallv?
Why should the journalist demand code
of ethics for himself that he denies to
other men? The BuLietin-CdH manage
ment has been yindicated in Court of
law, and that was the essence and essential
thing in the trial, not the amount of
money asked or given. AS the Bulletin
well puts it, the verdict stamps out the
false notion contended for-that news
paper may, without harm, pursue dis
honest course:
Journalism can never be a decent profession
SO long as substantial part of the community
believes that q newspaper may be yenal with
out loss OF public esteem. 1t was time that this
verdict came to clear the air of such false
